I want to assure the public that the center is continuing its operation of activities for those with visual problems. Negotiations are under way for sale of the property, which was donated by the Sturges family. The center is remaining open.

I've been director of the center since 1983, and our clients will continue to participate in activities to help them get out of their homes and back into the community. It is important the individuals have contact with others with the same problems and can learn to coordinate activities.
